How to Meditate

A simple, handy primer on how to meditate, and begin a passionate journey into inner bliss, strength and clarity that can last a lifetime

Below, check out a handy guide on how to meditate—real meditation, not the guided visualization exercises that so often get passed off for meditation in the marketplace. It'll get you up to speed on everything you need to know to start a solid meditation practice.

Included are:

• The reasons to meditate. These are gaining a sense of focus, learning to let go, and a growing, ever-deepening process of maturation.

These basic skills should be the foundation of any spiritual practice; as I wrote in this article about the 7 Master Keys of Spiritual Growth, meditation is the skill that can unlock all areas of life, from your focus on your work to your emotional health to your ability to your sense of spiritual connection and well-being. There's a reason so many Silicon Valley companies are recommending mindfulness meditation to their employees and executives: It works. It makes you a better human being.

But this isn't just mindfulness meditation—this is something much better, and older. Check it out—once you learn how to meditate the right way, you'll be light years ahead in the human experience.

This free video is more than enough to get you started on a lifetime of fruitful and deep meditation practice. For those who are interested in accelerating their understanding and progress, this video is a great primer for my in-depth course Hardcore Meditation: The 8 Limbs of Raja Yoga.

In this five-hour class, we'll cover not only deeper material on how to meditate but also the ancient and sacred eight limbs of Raja Yoga (the true, Vedic system of meditation) step by step. The course material is divided into simple sections that you can watch at your own pace, in whatever way works best for you. We'll cover:

Yama: How to structure your life so thay you can meditate daily

Niyama: How to keep drama out of your life so that your meditation isn't disturbed

Asana: Physical postures for meditation

Pranayama: Breathing techniques for stilling the mind and body and producing neurosomatic rapture
